Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c42903) has announced the addition of Textbook of Pharmacoepidemiology to their offering.
The Textbook of Pharmacoepidemiology provides a streamlined text for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medicines. It includes a brief introduction to pharmacoepidemiology as well as sections on data sources, methodology and applications. Each chapter includes key points, case studies and essential references.
- One-step resource to gain understanding of the subject of pharmacoepidemiology at an affordable price
- Gives a perspective on the subject from academia, pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies
- Designed for students with basic knowledge of epidemiology and public health
- Includes many case studies to illustrate pharmacoepidemiology in real clinical setting
Currently, students of pharmaceutical medicine, pharmacology, public health and epidemiology have no one-stop resource to gain an understanding pharmacoepidemiology; their only option is to reach for the big Strom, which is too expensive and has too much detail for most individuals. The Textbook of Pharmacoepidemiology provides the summarized comprehensive text for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medicines to plug this gap. It sits next to its parent, state-of-the art book, but is designed to cover all key information in a student-friendly format. It includes a brief intro to pharmacoepidemiology, a section on data sources, a section on methodology and a section on applications.
Each chapter is to have key points, case studies and only the essential 5-10 key refs. The easy-to-read style and layout will be maintained as per the big book as will the Bibliography of useful further reading and Glossary of terms.
